Aus den Rezensionen: "... Das ... editierte Methodenbuch gliedert sich in siebzehn Beitrage, die von auf dem jeweiligen Gebiet ausgewiesenen Autoren verfasst wurden. ... Die angegebenen Protokolle ermoglichen, einem Methodenbuch entsprechend, eine zeitsparende und kostengunstige Praparation ... Positiv ist auch die gute Darstellung der Faktoren, die fur Biotinylierungsreaktionen ... kritisch sind. ... Das Buch ist nach Form und Inhalt in jedem Fall geeignet, dem Leser die weitere Vertiefung in die aktuelle Literatur zu ermoglichen und Hinweise fur Applikationen zu geben. ... eine umfassende Informationsquelle und Protokolle zur Verfugung ..."
